For you 8mm tape fans out there, is the Exabyte 8205 drive simply an
8200 with different firmware--or are the electronics completely
different? In other words, can I upgrade an 8200 to an 8205 without
changing the PCB out?
More of an item of curiosity now--I've got a bunch of Solaris tapes
written on an 8205, but they're written in 8200 mode, so it doesn't
really matter.
Thanks,
Chuck
